Chebyshev Linkage-Robot

6 bars linkage mechanism

In the nineteenth century Pafnuty Chebyshev studied the mathematical problems of kinematic mechanisms. The main problem was the construction of four bar linkages that converts a rotary motion into an approximate straight-line motion.

The prototype is representing the general joint´s configuretion, so the links move in parallel planes, and the assembly that is called a planar four-bar linkage. Spherical and spatial four-bar linkages also exist and are used in practice.
